They All Lived Happily Ever After
Month: October 2018
For the Flip
Icing my muscles,
sore from the day before.
Fixing my hair, changing my outfit.
Preparing for today.
I stretch my aching body,
throughout my warm up.
I chalk my hands and feet.
Eliminating the slick sweat nervousness brings.
Walking to the flat floor,
Mentally preparing myself on the way.
Knots in my stomach
Wake me, more aware.
Arrived at the surface,
with that nervous feeling present.
Hoping I can manage.
Hoping I can impress.
Everything happens so fast.
run, spring, propel, flip, twist, stick
With a nearly perfect score,
Glad to see the crowd cheering!
